Russell Westbrook is probably the greatest competitor the NBA has right now. He takes the game very seriously, and is now completely focused on Stephen Curry and the the Golden State Warriors.
After the Oklahoma City Thunder finished shootaround this morning, Westbrook was asked about how defending Curry will be different that point guards he's had to defend in the past.

In three regular season games, Curry averaged 35 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 2.0 steals on 48% shooting from the field and 45% from downtown. He also averaged an insane six three pointers made per game.
Westbrook put up some solid numbers as well with 25 points, 5.3 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 1.7 steals, but shot just 34.7% in three games.
Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals begins tonight at 9PM EST on TNT.
